Leo satellite-based forest fire prediction and mitigation

A computer system, the computer system comprising:

• one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more computer-readable memories, wherein the computer system is capable of performing a method comprising:
• receiving historical LEO satellite images of a forested region;
• identifying a geographical area and a boundary of the geographical area based on the historical LEO satellite images;
• identifying a time range of a fire season in the geographical area;
• determining whether at least one LEO satellite is positioned within the boundary of the geographical area during the time range;
• in response to determining the at least one LEO satellite is not positioned within the boundary of the geographical area during the time range, adapting a location of the at least one LEO satellite to be within the boundary during the time range;
• capturing live LEO satellite images of inflammable material in the geographical area;
• and
• identifying a range of changes in the inflammable material by comparing the live LEO satellite images and the historical LEO satellite images, wherein identifying the range of changes in the inflammable material includes the at least one LEO satellite performing edge computation on the historical LEO satellite images and the live LEO satellite images to evaluate a rate at which a density of leaves on trees decreases from one time period to another.

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable tangible storage medium, the program instructions executable by a processor capable of performing a method, the method comprising:
